The New season is almost here, which means its time to review and update your Pitchero & GMS profiles. This is important so please take a few minutes to check your details.
Email and Phone Number. If your U14 (in Pitchero) or U18 (GMS) the parent or guardian needs to register first and then add the child player details. This is a safeguarding requirement.

All club players must sign-up to the England Hockey Game Management System (GMS) if they are going to play for a senior team.

GMS controls the administration between club and competition administrators of national and regional hockey competition(s), and it is essential that every player is registered in order to participate in league games and appear on match sheets. It only takes a couple of minutes, and only needs to be done once (mobile friendly!). This will also be the method for match officials (umpires) and team officials (coaches and managers) to sign up; and it will form a player’s hockey history across all the games they play for any team or club in hockey.

For more information watch this video: GMS Training – Players

THE PROCESS FOR SIGNING-UP IS SHOWN BELOW
The process is different for players over 18 and those under 18.
